I appreciate how the book offers a wealth of concrete and actionable advice for women facing the challenges of the 'broken rung' in organizations. It not only explains the reasons behind these issues but also outlines how to develop the necessary experience capital for women to succeed. Although the book is tailored to women's situations, men who read it carefully can gain valuable insights and apply much of the advice. Additionally, the book strikes a perfect balance between highlighting the problems and providing solutions.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I really enjoyed this comprehensive summary that women face in the workplace, with the title referring to the struggles faced even prior to the glass ceiling. Although this book was written from the perspective of women, I think there were lots of interesting tidbits of information that are useful to everyone.

There is lots to take away as a people manager on how to be more supportive of female employees as they progress through their career - I especially appreciated the specific examples provided in each section.
